Political Correctness Is Dangerous

Here's an interesting piece on political correctness. I totally agree. Things are getting worse in America. Political correctness is nothing more than a way to stifle free speech and those that disagree.

I have long held the belief that PC had made things worse, and not better, for the simple reason that those feelings are now all bottled up, and when they do come out, they explode into whatever form they take.

University of California faculty leader-training handout instructed professors not to say that “America is the land of opportunity” because that’s a racist, sexist microaggression.

According to the handout, called “Tool: Recognizing Microaggressions and the Messages they Send,” the statement “assert that race and gender [do] not play a role in life's successes"
despite the fact that saying opportunities exist and saying that opportunities are more easily attainable for some people than others are not mutually exclusive assertions.
Other microaggressions listed on the document include asking, “Where are you from or where were you born?” (because it suggests that the person you’re asking is “not a true American”); asking a post-doctoral minority student whether he or she is lost in the halls of a chemistry building (because it makes ”the assumption that the person is trying to break into one of the labs”); and having students fill out forms on which they have to check a box indicating whether they’re male or female.http://www.nationalreview.com/article/419571/university-california-microaggresions-janet-napolitano

Without a doubt an example of the stupidity of political correctness. Which is what TOS wanted to see (yet still refuses to open his eyes to notice).
